    PowerBook G3 to M1 MacBook Pro - We sure have come a long way!

Although they are not technically equals since the Wallstreet predates OS 10.0 by a few years, its a G3 that's a supported model. But when some of us complain about the constant progress of innovation, we have a lot to be...

    Not sure if anyone has had this issue before but I ordered a new custom config M1 MacBook Pro with 1tb SSD and 16gb RAM over the phone with my business account via my local Apple store.

    Big Sur made Nintendo Switch charger basically incompatible?

    Hi- I use a Nintendo Switch charger on my 2020 MacBook Pro when on the go and it's been fine at charging. Nothing fantastic, but enough to get the job done.

    torn between air and pro (regarding thermals)

    After the review embargo lifted, I watched tons of reviews, but I'm still torn. For context, I am a student in need of a new machine, and I will buy the M1 models. I do video editing sometimes, but probably nothing intensive. I barely game, so that factor isn't a deciding factor for me. Other...

    I have the MacBook Pro M1, 16GB RAM, 1TB SDD: ask me anything

    Fun fact: BootCamp Assistant is present, and according to System Report, it's a universal app (meaning Apple took the time to compile an ARM version of it...) Observations (to be updated as they come): Rosetta needs to be installed I have attached pictures of the new bootloader.

    I Will Be Choosing a M1 MacBook Pro

    My original plan was to wait until 2023 before I upgrade from my early 2015 MBP 13 inch. The fact is, I just can't wait that long for the type of Mac I wanted. Is it is a need or want? More of a want, since the current Mac I have works just fine. There is some excitement for this new...
